🔥Shin Splints vs Stress Fractures 🔥

Spring mileage ramps are prime time for shin pain.

Shin splints are usually a diffuse ache along the inner shin that may warm up as you run.
Stress fractures are more pinpoint pain that worsens with running and may hurt with walking/hopping—don’t push through that.

Here’s a quick guide on how to tell the difference + how to prevent it as you build back your miles.

Shin splints or a stress fracture — they might feel similar at first, but the treatments and recovery timelines are very different. Learn how to spot the signs, what to do right away, and when to see a clinician so a small problem doesn’t become a long layoff. Read the full guide: https://wix.to/kVJA2Zg

Spring hits, the sidewalks thaw, and suddenly everyone’s mileage doubles “because it feels so good to be outside again.” Love that energy. Also: this is exactly when I see the same two problems roll in—shin splints and stress fractures.They’re not the same thing, they don’t behave the sa...

🔥Does Running Ruin Your Knees? 🔥

Running doesn’t “wear out” your knees—at least not at recreational levels.

A big JOSPT review (114,829 people) found lower hip/knee OA rates in recreational runners (3.5%) compared to sedentary adults (10.2%). The higher OA signal shows up most in very high mileage groups (often >57 miles/week).

Clinical takeaway: keep people running—just dose it well. Build capacity (quads/glutes/calves), progress gradually, and let symptoms guide the plan—not fear.

Even an athlete running higher millage has about the same risk for OA than a sedentary person!

How Cold Weather Impacts Injury Recovery

Athletes often notice more stiffness, soreness, or sensitivity in colder temps—but why?

💥 Key Factors:
• Reduced tissue extensibility: Muscles, tendons, and fascia are less compliant in the cold—leading to higher perceived stiffness and injury sensitivity.
• Vasoconstriction: Decreased blood flow can delay tissue healing and lower oxygen delivery to recovering areas.
• Altered pain perception: Cold can heighten nociception in sensitized tissues, especially in tendinopathy, joint pathology, or nerve irritation.
• Behavioral shifts: Less warm-up, shorter sessions, more sedentary time = increased injury risk or slowed progress.

🔁 Clinical Tips:
• Prioritize longer, dynamic warm-ups to restore tissue readiness.
• Encourage layering + movement during downtime to prevent re-cooling.
• Reinforce consistent loading even if symptoms fluctuate with the weather.
• Use cold weather as a cue to re-check tendon reactivity, mobility, and tolerance under load.

📍Colder temps don’t reverse progress—but they may unmask deficits. Use that info clinically.
